Anchoring Sight: Figure Drawing with Kiara Ocasio

with Kiara Ocasio | 1 session Anchoring Sight is a 4-hour figure drawing workshop designed to strengthen the connection between observation and gesture. Through a series of quick poses, students will learn practical strategies for improving accuracy, responsiveness, and confidence in their drawings. Attention will be given to the differences between form and cast shadow, the uses of each charcoal type, and the process of building a drawing from initial observation to a more fully realized image. Individualized feedback and one-on-one coaching are central to the workshop, with instruction tailored to each student's goals, experience level, and personal approach to drawing.
